Backend not available (Code only) after migration

  • Hello, after migrating my page to a new server, the front end looks fine, I can log in to the back end but only see the code of the php file. I don’t have the mask or anything else – pure code I can see as backend. Db details are right, full rights on files and folders. I tried it several times with several tools, always the same. On the old system it’s working. Any idea is much appreciated. Thanks

    Try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    Thank you for your tips. Unfortunately it didn’t help. I also tried to manually migrate the page and get the same error.

    Try downloading WordPress again, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), and delete then replace your copies of everything on the server except the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings.

    Some uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget to delete the original files before replacing them.
